These Hoisin Mushroom Phyllo Cups will disappear from the appetizer table in minutes! So much flavor packed into one little bite. Thank you to Athens Foods for helping me share this recipe with you.
For all that is pure and true, make these hoisin mushroom phyllo cups ASAP. There’s a good chance that the mushroom mixture will make it to your mouth before it can be scooped into the phyllo cups (it’s that good). But if you have enough willpower to resist the siren call of hoisin glazed mushrooms, then you will be rewarded with an appetizer that will make you the belle of the ball – or at least the hit of the cocktail party.
With the holidays just mere weeks away, having an arsenal of easy appetizer recipes is key to entertaining with ease. When you’re roasting turkey, mashing potatoes, simmering cranberries and rolling out pumpkin pie dough, the last thing you want to deal with is fancy shmancy hors d’oeuvres to tide the troops over to the big meal.
So, what exactly makes these hoisin mushroom phyllo cups “easy”?
Let’s start with the Mini Fillo Shells. If you haven’t discovered these time-saving little shells yet, you’re in for a life-changing surprise. Well, at least life-changing in the “guests are arriving in half an hour and I have no idea what the heck I’m going to serve them for an appetizer or dessert” kind of way. Walk to your freezer, pull out a package of Mini Fillo Shells and stuff them with anything from smoked salmon to hummus and roasted peppers or lemon curd and meringue.
Next is the make-ahead section. All of the vegetables and savories (ginger, green onions and garlic) can be chopped ahead of time. And the sauce? Whisk together the four ingredients in 30 seconds or less, cover and store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to get cooking.
And last but not least, saute, add the sauce, then put your kids or significant other to work filling the phyllo cups while you work on other things. That’s right, my friends – delegation is a key component to easy appetizers.
With the appetizers made, you can enjoy your family and friends. Sounds like the perfect holiday to me! If you make this recipe, I’d love to see it on Instagram!
